Whenever it becomes evident to a teacher that a student is in danger of failing a course, the teacher shall arrange a conference with the student's parent/guardian or send the parent/guardian a written report. (Education Code 49067) The purpose of the Progress Report is to provide the student and the parent/guardian with a written record informing them about the level of the student’s performance in meeting district standards. Progress Reports/written notification of concerns should be sent prior to the formal Report Card being sent home to allow parents/guardians time to address areas of concern and help their student to improve.
